Hi drama90210,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I see you're running into an issue with a Lightning to HDMI adapter.
If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like you're finding that it alternates between charging and mirroring when connected. Is that right? Are you using the adapter shown here in this link, or a different adapter? Lightning Digital AV Adapter
If that's the adapter you're using, you should have the male Lightning cable end connected to your iPhone, correct? Do you have a Lightning cable connected to the port next to the HDMI port currently? If you disconnect it temporarily, does it then consistently mirror? Testing this would help narrow things down a bit.
You'll find a few additional troubleshooting steps here, in the article titled About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:![Hdmi adapter for mac laptop Hdmi adapter for mac laptop](/uploads/1/2/4/9/124960253/839266419.jpg)
I hope this helps you.
Have a wonderful day.![Hdmi Adapter For Mac Hdmi Adapter For Mac](/uploads/1/2/4/9/124960253/763022677.jpg)

Mac Adapter For Hdmi Cable
If you see video but can't hear audio
Make sure that you're using a Digital AV adapter (which has an HDMI port). If you're using a VGA adapter, it doesn't carry audio signals. To hear audio with a VGA adapter, you need to connect to the headset jack on your TV, monitor, projector, or stereo.
If an app doesn't display video or play audio
The app might not be compatible with your adapter. Check compatibility on the app's info page in the App Store or contact the developer.
If an alert says that an HDCP-compatible device is required
Your content might not be compatible with your adapter. Movies, TV shows, and certain streaming video apps require High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you try to play these movies, shows, and streaming videos using a non-HDCP digital connection—like the Apple VGA Adapter—an alert will ask for an HDCP-compatible device.
If you need help with other issues
- Disconnect and reconnect your adapter from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and from your TV, monitor, or projector.
- Make sure that your VGA or HDMI cable works, since the issue could be with the cable.
- Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters. Accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signals to different video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) aren't compatible.
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS.
Have a wonderful day.
